The Guardian is starting to come across as a college newsletter with their stadium scoops, haha. That's such a weirdly written piece, I get the feeling Hytner has been forced to write it up as some sort of office dare.
It was very strange. It's obviously supposed to be a humorous little piece, but is written in a very formal reporting style.The Guardian is starting to come across as a college newsletter with their stadium scoops, haha.

“the Guardian can reveal that the much talked about VIP cheese room will not be happening.”
There is no cheese room at the new stadium, I repeat no Cheese room, it’s a disaster

Besides (and I've asked to be shown this many times because I couldn't find it) I'm yet to see where it says in the Premier League rules that you can't play in two grounds in one season. The media have SAID it but I'm yet to see it with my own eyes. I don't think I've ever seen an article even directly quoting the actual rule in the PL rulebook.

- K.6.1. would be consistent with the objects of the League as set out in the Memorandum;

- K.6.3. would not to any material extent adversely affect such Club’s Officials, Players, supporters, shareholders, sponsors and others having an interest in its activities;

If we were taking the piss I expect they'd make it difficult but it is absolutely clear that this is a safety issue so they are not going to strongarm us.I would guess that once you have that consent for it, as we do, there's little that can be done to revoke it.
